24-30 Nov – UN Film Festival: Tales of the City

The UN Viet Nam Country Team Proudly Presents:

Tales of the City – An International Film Festival

The world is about to leave its rural past behind, and next year, for the first time, more than half the globe’s population will be living in urban areas. In Viet Nam, about one million more people live in cities every year. The growth of cities will be the single largest influence on development in the 21st century.

With ten thought-provoking films, the UN Film Festival invites you on a journey of urbanization that spans the world.

The ten films to be shown are:

Boomsville
Green Meadow
Modern Times
Dark Days
Maquila, A Tale of Two Mexicos
Dreaming of Being a Worker
Koyaansiqatsi
Salaam Bombay
Tsotsi
La Sierra

Tickets are free and available at the Hanoi Cinematheque on the evening of the film. Tickets will be distributed on a first-come first-serve basis and it is recommended you arrive early to ensure a seat.

Some of the evening screenings will be followed by a discussion with guest speakers on urbanization in Viet Nam.

All films are shown in the original language, most with English subtitles. Vietnamese audio is also available for all films.
